Notas del editor
- ----- Meeting Notes (10/29/11 23:28) ----- Ask for show of hands. How many have personal FB pages? Anyone on Twitter? How many have created Facebook fan pages for their PTA? Twitter for the PTA?
- socialmediaschoolpr (see the link) is a wiki I ’ ve created for this group, but also for school PR people who would like to take a look at links, files, resources about social media. There are guides uploaded there, examples of social media policies and tons more. I will keep the wiki open unless I start getting spam, and then I might make it by invitation only.
- What we ’ ll cover. Connecting your social media is important as well, and although the learning curve is pretty widespread on this topic, I wanted to get into my recommendations and tips for connecting your social media efforts. If you are a beginner, definitely check out the wiki for beginner help.
- There are 300,000 FB fan pages, at last count. If you ’ re not yet posting photos and videos to your fan pages, now ’ s the time. And don ’ t forget to keep your posts on FB conversational in tone, not too formal. And brief.
- ----- Meeting Notes (10/29/11 23:28) ----- Use it to drive traffic back, but also give them as much as you can right on the FB page so that they don't have to go back and forth all the time.
- This is the superintendent for the state of Oklahoma and her FB fan page. And a group of supts in Alabama have their own site. I recently presented to the Lower Hudson Council of School Supts, and got three phone calls from supers the next day and two extra jobs creating social media for new districts.
- School board candidates have definitely gotten into the act and have begun to realize the power of using Facebook to get their messages across. The number of school board cands in the 4J Schools in Eugene Ore is pretty impressive.
- As about whether Joplin increase dramatically since the tornao. Queensbury is a small but successful district when it comes to using socal media. The reason? Their superintendent. If you don ’ t have support from the top on this, it ’ s going to be challenging to intro social media. But keep trying.
- I know that this is extremely controversial, but some school districts are actually encouraging their teachers to create professional, classroom FB pages so that students can become fans and follow homework assignments, ask for extra help, etc. You can see on the right that District 128 in Libertyville, IL, is doing that. And on the left, Mr. Edelman has a FB fan page that includes the disclaimer: it’s for tutoring and extra help – not a social page or a way to try and friend me. On the other hand, you might have read that Missouri tried to ban teachers from using FB, and that was overturned for now.
- Here’s the Sacramento Council of PTAs. Only 55 members,
- The National PTA. 18,000 members at last count
- Here is the NYS PTA Facebook page. Someone should be updating it and posting photos from the conference, but that’s not happening. Notice use of the logo here.
- Photo album from the 2010 conference. Great job – more than 40 photos posted here. Suggestion: How about using a simple flip video camera and posting videos?
- Potsdam – 30 fans. Notice the use of a logo. Anyone here from Potsdam?
- ----- Meeting Notes (10/29/11 23:28) ----- Click on Company, Organization, or Institution. Choose Education in the dropdown.
- Important to be able to distinguish between types of FB pages. Group pages: only up to 5,000 members. You can’t have a personalized URL. This is a tattoo artistry group for people who love tattoos.
- These pages let you connect with other people who share similar interests and experiences. This is a Harry Potter fan page, of which there are hundreds.
- Fan pages. You have much more control over it and how it’s used. You can delete members you don’t want, you can hide posts and comments, and all members get your posts “fed” onto their personal pages.
- 1. Create "personal page” in your name or fictional name related to your district (founder, mascot, etc.) 2. link account to authentic email address, wait for FB to confirm. 3. go to: facebook.com/pages/create.php 4. When page (LEFT) comes up, 5. Choose Company, Organization or Institution 6. In dropdown, choose Education 7. Give your page a name, click checkbox, then Create Official PAGE.
- Add your logo, your mission statement, your website address, if you have one.
- Here you can see that Highland Elementary School PTA has an Info tab. When you click on that you see some “boilerplate info.” They also have listed on the left their “favorite” pages – other PTAs, the Highland Districtl’s FB page, etc.
- You have this in your handouts.
- In the handouts.
- FB Insights is a handy tool that permits you to track how your FB fanpages are doing. You can find out how many likes you ’ ve received, comments, and if anyone unsubscribed to your site. There are many different ways of looking at the statistics, including by gender and age. On this page, I can even see how many impressions there were per post. For example, a slideshow I posted of the middle school graduations on June 24 received 723 impressions.
- A great little tools to conduct informal and unscientific polls.
- Find out how much this costs.
- I think there are more districts using twitter than Facebook. Effective for reaching media Journalists who get tips check twitter and FB first. Twello RT other people ’ s stuff.
- The power of social media – again.
- There are 23 state ed departments on twitter -- the ones I counted. I addition, teach.gov has a twitter list of state education depts.
- 17,000 followers
- One tweet in August 2009. That was it. Meanwhile, they have 698 followers waiting for their second tweet. Be committed, or don’t do it at all.
- The @ symbol is simply someone’s handle I’m @evelynmccormack. When people refer to me in a tweet, they will use the @ symbol. The hashtag is a pound sign in front of your topic; other people writing about the same topic will also use the #hashtag and that’s how conversations start and continue.
- There are tons and tons of Twitter apps out there. Twitpic is just one app that allows you to quickly take photos and then post them on Twitter. Weiner ’ s app of choice.
- I have used a combination of all three on some of my FB pages -- tabs for YouTube, welcome page tabs. There is also something called FBML -- Facebook Markup Language, which you can learn using tutorials on YouTube. That ’ s my next challenge, to learn FBML.
- On YouTube, you can connect your YouTube account with your Twitter, Facebook, Google Buzz and other accounts. Go to Account Settings, then choose Activity Sharing. Make sure that you are signed on to your District FB fan page and Twitter pages when you do this.
